The medical marijuana company Patriot Care Corporation is considering applying for licenses to open dispensaries in Greenfield and Pittsfield.

Officials from Patriot Care Corporation recently met with Greenfield Mayor William Martin to discuss their interest in the city. Martin described the group as “very professional,” and noted that they had been successful operating in other states.

“They seem to be well poised,” Martin said. “If they can come up with a site, make the determination that they want Greenfield, then it looks good.”

Patriot Care Corporation CEO Robert Mayerson said the company also met with officials in Pittsfield.

Patriot Care Corporation originally applied for licenses in Lowell, Worcester and Northampton. It received a license for a Lowell dispensary and was rejected for the other two but invited to reapply in a new location.

Patriot Care is run by Mayerson and Michael Abbott. Mayerson, who lives in Harvard and is a graduate of Hampshire College and UMass Amherst, is the former president and chief operating officer of Eastern Mountain Sports and serves on a number of Massachusetts boards. Abbott is a former managing director at the Raptor Group, a Boston-based financial services company. Abbott and treasurer Nicholas Vita are executives and board members at three medical marijuana facilities in Washington, D.C., and Arizona.

Patriot Care plans to build a cultivation site in South Hadley to grow the marijuana that would support all of its dispensaries.

Mayerson said the company has not ruled out any of the four open counties, but with a cultivation site in South Hadley, looking at the two western counties makes the most sense. The company is still looking at potential sites throughout the counties.

“We have two applications, so we will use both of those,” Mayerson said.

Mayerson added, “We’re eager to really help patients in need, and we bring a lot to the table in experience and expertise in highly regulated and controlled medical markets.”

The three applicants who made it to the second round of applications in Franklin County but were rejected for licenses had proposed dispensaries in Greenfield, South Deerfield and Montague. Martin called Greenfield “the obvious location” for a Franklin County dispensary because of its position as a transportation and population hub for the county.

Of five second-stage applications in Berkshire County, two were for dispensaries in Pittsfield and the others were for Lee, Great Barrington and North Adams.

Karen van Unen, executive director of Massachusetts’ medical marijuana program for the Department of Public Health, held a conference call on Friday with the eight applicants who have been asked to reapply. Van Unen said she encouraged the applicants to look at the open counties, and particularly at cities that already had dispensary applicants, since much of the preliminary work has already been done there. She is not aware of which companies are looking at which counties.

Van Unen said the department expects to release its requirements for new applications within two weeks. The applications will be due in early May and licenses are expected to be awarded in early June. The new applications will have to update sections relating to location, such as local support and patient populations.

State law requires that each county have at least one dispensary. Van Unen said it is important to the department to follow the law and also to ensure “that every patient, irrespective of where they’re living, they get the same high quality level of service and access.”

John Greene, president and CEO of the Greeneway Wellness Foundation, was granted a license in Cambridge and invited to reapply with applications that had been targeting Taunton and Brockton. “We’re considering all options at the moment,” Greene said. Greene said he is looking at sites in all four counties but has not yet made a decision or started talking to local officials.

Officials at Coastal Compassion, Good Chemistry of Massachusetts, The Haven Center and Mass Medicum Corporation, which have all been invited to reapply, could not immediately be reached Tuesday afternoon.
